Thanks. And nice to hear from you as well. BTW, I hope to be posting Chapter 2 of "Be Sifted" in the next week or so. It's the one bit of fun I've continued.
Tell Jane to hang in there and, if it's any consolation, tell her if I have to go to the bank and the dry cleaners in the same day, I need a nap after. And I've never had pneumonia (I'm just lazy)!
Still, hugs and prayers all around for her and you and all who are helping her. Glad to hear you're taking care of yourself as well.
P.S.: Yes, I got part two and will be working on it...
Ah, dear hedwigs_bane, I certainly shall tell Jane. I had pneumonia about 6 yrs ago, and it took me damn near a month before I was even within shouting distance of remembering what normal energy was like. And our lives tend to be a blur -- or at least mine does. Sometimes I take a day off, and just lounge around the cabin, but mostly it's lots of errands. I'm hoping for a long walk tomorrow, maybe w/ a spot of writing, since the trail near the house, which goes up to a wonderful mountain valley with a stream in it, about 9,000 ft, is my favorite way to write -- walking and sitting both!
And thanks so much for your work on Ch 2. The section I was most concerned about, from your standpoint, was the major re-write on Ginny-Harry, which is a lot better for magicofisis's bird-picking. But I don't want you hating her. It's meant to show the tragedy of struggling with culturally taught hate, etc. But in a way true to the story.
(I had pneumonia as a robust 12-year-old and I was exhausted for a good long while afterwards - definitely seems to be a standard consequence, if a very frustrating one.)
Thanks so much for your gladness! And hugs fully returned. I'll let Jane know there are even more who've been there in pneumonia's frustrating aftermath.
Pneumonia is one of the most debilitating illnesses. I'm a horribly healthy, vitally energetic individual nearly all the time (thank heavens) but when I contracted pneumonia just after Christmas 1999, I thought I was dying, I felt so ill and weary. I could not get used, for weeks, to not feeling up to doing things. I had a month off work, which is unheard-of for me, and just sat around, feeling listless for most of that time. It took me ages to recover. Do tell Jane she is right up there in my estimation, after all she's been through, to be still continuing the improvement. It doesn't matter how slowly, she will get there. That is one great lady you are married to, and I'm full of admiration for her AND you and Les. Do give her a hug from all of us out here on t'interweb. Lovely to see a post from you and looking forward to more. Love from Kate
I read your posting to Jane, and it gave her comfort and reassurance, though she doesn't see herself as a great lady even though I very much join you in this. And I certainly admire her, though as for me, I mostly think of myself as stumbling from one damn thing to another and just trying not to foul up things too much. If that's admirable, well, so be it. But if so, it certainly has a strange feel for admiration.
All love & best wishes to you & all of yours. (You, your beloved, your children & grandchildren are all well, I hope?)
